TOON A PAUCIJUGA sp. nov. 
Species ut videtur T. calantas Merr. & Rolfe valde affinis, 
diifert foliolis paucioribus, 7 vel 9, glabris, subtus in axillis 
venarum prominente glandulosis. 
A tree reaching a height of about 10 m, glabrous throughout 
(inflorescence unknown). Branches brownish, glabrous, some- 
what striate when dry. Leaves alternate, odd-pinnate, 30 to 
35 cm long. Leaflets 7 or 9, oblong-ovate to elliptic-ovate, firmly 
chartaceous, brownish and of nearly the same color on both 
surfaces when dry, shining, the median ones 10 to 13 cm long, 
5 to 6 cm wide, the lower ones somewhat smaller, opposite or 
subopposite, entire, the base inequilateral, rounded, or on one 
side of the lamina sometimes acute or acuminate, the apex dis- 
tinctly acuminate, the acumen usually somewhat falcate, blunt; 
lateral nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, distinct, their 
axils on the lower surface with distinct glands; petiolules 1 cm 
long or less. Flowers unknown. Panicles terminal, in fruit 
about 12 cm long. Mature fruits quite similar to those of Toona
